New Swatch Flymagic

Post by AtomicTom » Fri Feb 15, 2019 11:02 am

Has anyone had a chance to see the new Swatch Flymagic already?

The new watch is their first with anti magnetic Nivachron hairspring,
and also has an inverted movement. Which is a base Sistem 51
movement, but with 15 more components. Including a transparent
bi-directional rotor.

With just some of the details including stainless steel, or red gold
PVD 45mm cases, 30m WR, sapphire crystals, skeletonized open dials
with futuristic hands, and markers, 19 jewel Flymagic movement
with 90 hour power reserve, along with rubber, or leather straps.

A few pictures...

That makes a very strong case for being the ugliest watch ever made.

:grin: ..You know what's pretty interesting though Chris. Is that they are evidently
going to be putting these hairsprings into the new Sistem51 watches from now on.

Well, at 45mm in size, at least they aren't subtle about being ugly. If you are gonna be a bear, might as well be a grizzly.
